Resolving the infection process reveals striking differences in the contribution of environment, genetics and phylogeny to host-parasite interactions
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Infection processes consist of a sequence of steps, each critical for the interaction between host and parasite. Studies of host-parasite interactions rarely take into account the fact that different steps might be influenced by diff...
